Every camp journey has a first day. For your littlest camper, this is it — and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome them.

PreKamp is a half-day day camp experience designed especially for children ages 3–6 who are ready for the magic of camp but not quite ready for an overnight stay. Monday through Friday, 9:00am to 1:00pm, campers spend their mornings at Lutheridge doing what kids this age do best: singing, playing, creating, exploring, and making the kind of new friends that feel like old ones by Friday afternoon.

Every day is filled with age-appropriate camp activities — songs that get stuck in everyone’s heads in the best possible way, crafts that come home proudly, games that get everyone moving, and gentle faith formation woven through it all in ways that are joyful, accessible, and just right for little hearts and big imaginations. Our caring counselors are experienced with this age group and create an environment where even the shyest three-year-old finds their place and their people.

For parents, PreKamp offers something just as valuable: the confidence of knowing your child is having a genuinely wonderful time in a safe, nurturing, faith-filled environment — and the beginning of what for many families becomes a years-long love affair with camp.

Campers bring their own lunch. A snack is provided. And they will almost certainly come home tired, happy, and already asking when they get to go back
